hog wild
 
dont it piss you off when you spend all the time and money on a deer lease and it seems that every time you check your cameras all there are is hogs. I've got hogs big time and im not talking one or two. I counted like twelve or thirteen at a time under my feeder. Im pissed off.

Hogs are fun to shoot and eat. I just don't like to clean them.

You need to start trapping!!!!!!!!! Our biologist on our old place told us if you don't kill at least 65% of the heard every year you can not keep em in check. My old place in Mississippi just above Angola was 3000 acres, 500 river bottom & 2500 hills, 10 years ago didn't have a hog on it the last year I was in there we killed 54 hogs on the 500 acres of river bottom not counting what we killed in the hills with 20 members.

Don't worry about shooting boars .Kill all the sows you can . The sows can produce multiple litters per year . if you kill enough sows the boars leave looking for sows.

Sounds like you have several volunteers [me included] that would help you out with your problem.

Can you have guest on your least to hunt the hogs?

I'm in also. Have plenty of weapons. Hey, we should have a saltycajun.com hawg hunting team

It only takes getting shot at a couple of times for the hogs to go nocturnal. The best thing is to build big hog traps. Don't use the little ones that catch a single hog. Build the fence traps that can catch 10-25 at a time. Do a google search for hog traps and you can find plans on building them. Bait them regularly but only set them to catch when you can check them regularly. A hog will die in the hot sun in less than a day without water. Some guys put water in plastic swimming pools in their traps to reduce the stress. They even have trailers built with a ramp to load the trapped hogs into. Some sell them at the livestock market. Others will feed them out on corn for a couple of weeks and then have a hog roast or smoking.

Others just shoot em and feed the coyotes and buzzards. Hogs are a nuisance animal as well as a feral animal that competes for food with deer. Shoot em all and pile em up.

yea i'd be out there everyday if i could but my lease is 60 miles one way so its a 1/4 tank of gas everytime i go. i wish i could just get rid of them with out costing me a fortune. I wish i could take all you guys cause yall seem like you want to get you some but im only able to bring one guest at a time. i wish they would all get heat stroke and DIE. the coyotes gotta eat to.

I hunt in South Texas and we are overrun by them. Pretty much everyone puts a hog panel pen around their feeders.

Not to mention, they run your deer off, too.
